Notes / Commercial Description:
The Blue Buck is a legendary beast known to grant those that see him good fortune and safe travels! A deep amber coloured beer, the Blue Buck has a crisp finish featuring a delicate hop aroma. Certainly seeing the Blue Buck on bottle grants the drinker a great experience! Worth searching for.

Can and on tap - the canned version is a disappointed - amber-gold , small off white head, aromas of caramel, some earthy hop notes and light sweetness - medium body, smooth, soft mouth feel - flavor is malt forward with caramel malts dominating and a nice but understated earthy-woody tone from the hops - finish is long, wet, clean and verging on sweet. - decent drink but I wouldn’t session the canned version. Amber ales are a catch-all category for brewers to run sweet caramel malts forward but this is toned back enough to make it drinkable - maybe 2 or 3

On tap at The Sticky Wicket (Strathcona Hotel) in beautiful downtown Victoria. Poured a very nice light amber with an off-white head. Initial impression is light hops and a solid malt backbone. Medium mouthfeel and carbonation. Refreshing if nothing else. Very enjoyable.

Pours a clear copper with a snow white head. Aroma is dry, like... Wheat? Flavor starts with a crisp, mild hoppiness, followed by a resonating biscuity taste that is quite pleasant, with a gently fuzzy feel to it. Overall, a highly drinkable beer.
